A Northern Ireland beauty spot basked in the warmest November night ever recorded in the UK.

The temperature did not drop below 16.1C in Murlough, Co Down on Monday night - breaking the previous UK record of 15.9C.

However, elsewhere in the UK, the Environment Agency has issued three ‘red’ flood warnings and 28 ‘amber’ flood alerts.

And the Met Office has issued yellow warnings of severe weather for large parts of Scotland and the North of England.

Weather charts show a high risk of snow across Scotland this weekend with flurries possible as far south as Wales.

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: “The first wintry blast is likely to develop to develop towards the end of the week as we see a reversion to some much cooler weather than of late from the north of the country.

“It is likely to bring some snow across higher ground and potential blizzard conditions in the north with the accompanying and strengthening winds, and there may even be the potential for some wintry showers in some well elevated levels in parts of northern England.

“Some exceptional winds could also be registered within parts of the north and west from the stormy weather within this period.”
